Crafters of Inferno, rejoice: your bags may finally breathe a little. A new experimental feature now allows players to craft using materials stored in their bank while inside capital cities.

When browsing a profession window inside a capital, the game will now take into account both the materials in your bags and the materials stored in your bank. This means recipe availability and craft counts should reflect your full stock of usable materials, not just whatever happens to be clogging your inventory.

Outside capital cities, crafting remains unchanged and only materials currently in your bags will be counted.

When performing a craft, the system will prioritize materials from your bags first, then pull missing components from your bank when needed. If a recipe requires some materials from your bags and some from your bank, both sources can be used together.

The system also supports multi-crafting, as well as profession actions that are not standard item crafts, such as alchemy research and enchants, provided the required components can be pulled and inventory space allows it.

There is one important limitation: queued mass crafting with bank materials is not supported. For example, using "Create All" to craft a large batch while walking away will still only behave normally when the materials are already in your bags.

This feature is experimental, so we will be watching closely for edge cases, bugs, and any profession goblins attempting to turn the bank into a portable factory.

Something shady has arrived on Inferno, and for once, the goblins insist it is only mostly illegal. The Black Market Auction House is now available, bringing a new rotating auction system to the realm.

The Black Market can offer a variety of special rewards, including mounts, titles, transmogs, and other secret goodies that we will not be revealing just yet. Do not worry: it will not sell gear or anything gamebreaking.

Much like its retail counterpart, the Black Market will feature between 1 and 6 active auctions at a time. Auctions last for 3 days, during which players can place bids and compete for the items on sale.

Starting prices are calculated based on the item being sold, and each new bid must beat the current price by at least 10 gold. If another player outbids you, your gold is automatically returned by mail, just like with a regular auction house.

The interface also clearly shows when you are currently the highest bidder on an item, so you can enjoy the brief comfort of victory before someone richer ruins your day.

The system requires a lightweight addon called BlackMarketUI to display everything properly. This addon is already packaged by default with our patch, so just make sure not to disable it.

Additional mapping work has also begun in Booty Bay to give the Black Market a proper home. After all, if suspicious auctions are going to happen anywhere, it might as well be there.

Adventurers of Inferno, rejoice: the website has been reforged. After much hammering, wiring, arguing, and at least one small explosion in the engineering wing, our old pages have been retired in favor of something sharper, cleaner, and far less likely to look like it was held together by kobold candles.

The new site comes packed with fresh contraptions and conveniences. You can now keep an eye on the realm through Discord integration, check how many brave souls are currently online with the live player count, browse updates more easily, and make use of an in-game talent calculator without having to consult an ancient scroll, a third-party shrine, or your guild's most sleep-deprived theorycrafter.

In short, the forge has been busy. More tools, more features, better readability, and fewer opportunities to get lost in a maze of outdated pages. Whether you came looking for class changes, server information, or simply to spy on the player count before logging in, the new website should make the journey much smoother.

So have a look around, click on things that look suspiciously important, and enjoy the upgrade. If anything breaks, please direct your complaints to the nearest goblin intern. If everything works perfectly, the gnomes assure us this was always the plan.

After a lot of back and forth, we are proud to introduce a brand new fourth specialization for Priest: Inquisition.

Inquisition is a Holy caster DPS specialization built around explosive burst damage, disruptive utility, and strong crowd control. It offers a more aggressive interpretation of Holy magic, turning divine power into punishment rather than pure restoration.

The spec is designed to bring a distinct playstyle to both PvE and PvP. In PvE, Inquisition excels at delivering powerful burst windows while still contributing meaningful utility to the group. In PvP, it brings pressure, control, and the ability to create openings through a mix of Holy damage and disruptive tools.

With Inquisition, we wanted to offer players what they've always been asking for: a true smite spec that remains faithful to the class fantasy, but offers a truly tailored experience thanks to finally having its own spell tree.

As always, this is only the beginning. We will continue monitoring performance and feedback closely to keep refining the spec over time. You can review the spec in our talent calculator.

Two new battlegrounds have now been added to Inferno: Twin Peaks and Battle for Gilneas.

Battle for Gilneas is now available from level 30+, while Twin Peaks becomes available from level 40+.

Both battlegrounds have been fully integrated into the server and adapted for our environment, with a lot of work done behind the scenes on map functionality, graveyards, objectives, score systems, minimaps, announcements, and general battleground flow.

These additions are part of our ongoing effort to expand PvP variety and make the battleground pool feel richer, more dynamic, and more alive across the leveling experience.

Whether you prefer the fast-paced flag battles of Twin Peaks or the node-control warfare of Battle for Gilneas, both are now ready for battle.

The Ring of Law is now live on Inferno as a repeatable arena-style PvE challenge focused on wave progression, score pushing, affixes, and leaderboard competition.

To access the event, make your way to Thorium Point in Searing Gorge, where the event NPC will allow your group to enter and begin a run.

Once a run starts, your group composition is locked in. No one else may enter the dungeon until the run is manually ended or your group is defeated. The challenge is meant to test not only raw power, but also planning, consistency, and how well your group adapts under pressure.

Ring of Law currently features four game modes: Regular, Regular Easy, Rapid Fire, and Rapid Fire Easy. Regular mode handles each wave as a separate round with resets between waves, while Rapid Fire is a much harsher endurance format where waves chain almost immediately, with no mana or cooldown reset between rounds. Easy modes follow the same structure, but with lighter tuning.

Rapid Fire also introduces a lives system. Your group begins the run with 5 lives. Once those are exhausted, the run enters sudden death, and any further death will immediately end the attempt. You may still choose to end the run manually before the group fully collapses.

Each run is scored based on progression and performance. Surviving longer, clearing more waves, and defeating enemies deeper into the event will all increase your final score. Every game mode has its own separate leaderboard, giving each format its own competitive space.

To keep runs fresh, Ring of Law uses an affix system. Affixes are reset every wave and rolled from different pools, adding variation from one round to the next. Before beginning a run, players may choose to ban one affix for greater control over the setup, though doing so comes with a score penalty at the end of the run.

Leaderboards can be viewed directly from the NPC, including both personal bests and server bests for every mode. Detailed entries also show the full run breakdown, including the group composition used to achieve each score.

If you are looking for a new kind of repeatable endgame challenge, Ring of Law is ready. Build your group, travel to Thorium Point, step into the arena, and see how long you can survive.
